>> stephanie: yeah i'm wondering don't you think it certainly helps that it has been so thoroughly fact checked in the meantime and the president has some up with the zingers the day after? >> yeah, that made it that such sadder. i'm trying to see if i can find a happy clappy thought. >> stephanie: you can do it.

segment and documents almost all of his major positions are exactly the opposite of the truth. >> yeah, unfortunately i think people pay more attention to the performance than the subsequent fact checking. >> oh, yeah, romney not only lied, but the lyed when the called obama a liar. >> stephanie: i know. >> it's a complaint that all of us have had repeatedly with the obama administration. for health care reform why weren't you fighting for it and selling it so everybody gets on your side. fdr was out there all the time talking about what was being done for americans, and in very clear language. and when romney -- a couple of times just called him flat out a liar and obama didn't respond it

was really demoralizing. >> stephanie: yeah, i think rude we talked about this in the aftermath. the incumbent always had a bit of a handicap but i think he was trying to remain above the fray. >> that's one of the lies that republicans tell really well. oh, independent voters they don't want the politicians to attack each other. they want to hear real substantive answers on the issues. oh, bs. and republicans are repeating that talking point while shiving the democrats the whole time.

>> stephanie: yeah, what you said about health care, i have to say rude i have never seen a president up against this wall of obstructionism. so i think he did talk about the health care. there was a whole piece about it -- i was reading yesterday about what lengths they went to get elizabeth snow's support. this is a par they had made up their mind to obstruct him no matter what. >> i think he could have especially prior to the midterms in 2010. this is all capped in hindsight crap, but prior to the 2010 elections, he could have laid out a clear compelling case for health care. and he gets bogged down in the details, and even though romney

lied repeatedly and sounded like a doefer on crack, he was just intense and focused on the attack. and what is also funny about the spread between people that thought romney won versus people who thought obama won is i also think democrats are more likely to admit, yeah, okay. our guy won, than during kerry -- when bush got crushed. i don't think a lot more republicans are going to cling to their -- their good. >> stephanie: that's a good example, and i have seen others this weekend and look at how that turned out. so i don't think it means that it is over. >> no, no. i have not changed my opinion that obama is still going to win the election. i don't think it is that much of

a game changer, but i want it to be a big crushing victory. i want it to be something where obama cannot be denied the mandate going in where republicans at some point just look absurd constantly blocking things. >> stephanie: and we'll see if people were right about the rope a dope. >> oh that is so hopeful. i love clinging to that lifeboat right there. >> stephanie: i know.

football. >> yeah, and there are other guys in the league and we can make a difference to show it's okay to have your own sexuality, because at the end of the day on the football field, all that matters is can you win on the football field. >> stephanie: you wrote i can assure you gay people getting married will have zero effect on your love, they won't still your children or turn you into a illustrious [ censor bleep ] monster.

here it still won't make gay marriage legal. and hopefully we can get that changed at a future point, but we're fighting for our children to be able to make have their own voice. >> stephanie: you say it so well in here. somebody canned you how do you want to start talking about. you said it's all about the golden rule treat other people like you want to be treated. >> exactly. to me it boils down to would i want someone else telling me i can or can't get married? and the answer is no. i want to be free to live my own life. why can't i treat other people the same way. >> stephanie: and i think i speak on behalf of many of my straight girlfriends, are you in fact married? >> yes, i am i have happily

married to my wife and we have two young daughters. >> stephanie: what was your evolution? >> i think it was part of the process of maturing. growing as a human being and realizes there are other people out there who may not be the same as me and that's fine. being a human being is about living your own life and being who you are. and there's no reason to use gay slurs against someone, because your sexually is who you are. as people grow and sort of learn, hopefully they recognize that. >> stephanie: what has been the reaction in the nfl? >> it has been good so far. i have had a lot of very fruitful conversations with teammates. a lot of them said we appreciate what you said from a first

amendment right and then i have had quite a few guys come up and say you are absolutely right about all of it. >> stephanie: how did you get so kicked smart, can i ask?

i have always been a very private person, but i talk about politics every day, and that is the biggest thing in polling is when you know somebody and now when it's your favorite nfl punter that is a marriage equality advocate. and chely wright pointed out to that it is important that those of us who can hide don't. >> yeah, gay people are just like everyone else. we're all human beings at the end of the day. we all put on our pants, you know, one leg at a time eat food, and have basic biological functions. it doesn't change who you are because of your sexuality. you should judge someone based on their action and thoughts and

words and what they show you that they are. >> stephanie: let me just say most people that i say that have talked about you want to take your pants off one leg at a time. >> oh, boy.

children to grow up strong in a stable household, denying same-sex couples the same benefits others get that is not right. >> stephanie: i dated ufc football player in college, and now here i am [♪ magic wand ♪] >> stephanie: in politically in love with another one. >> stephanie: if i find somebody to marry i want you to give me away and punt the bouquet how does that sound? >> oh. >> you have got straight from gay to -- you skipped right over questioning. >> just saying. what is not hot about that?
